A&E Network launched The Recovery Project, a wide-ranging, multi-year initiative designed to help raise awareness that addiction is a treatable disease and recovery is possible. More than 22 million Americans* struggle with addiction to alcohol and other drugs, yet fewer than ten percent receive the treatment they need because of stigma, lack of awareness or cost.
The Recovery Project – inspired by the incredible response from viewers, individuals and families in recovery to the Emmy-nominated documentary series Intervention — strives to shed light on the scope of the addiction crisis, and its impact on society. The Recovery Project is held during National Addiction Recovery month with a public celebration organized in partnership with Faces and Voices of Recovery, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) in New York City as well as NCADD-NJ.
A&E also partnered with several leading federal agencies including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA).
Thousands of individuals and families in recovery, treatment partners and advocates from all fifty states and the District of Columbia, joined together to form a human chain – a living symbol of recovery — across the historic Brooklyn Bridge and proceed to a rally at City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan.
